EE reveals top World Cup network traffic moments

EE has revealed that traffic on its network during the World Cup reached its peak during the Costa Rica v Italy match on Friday 20 June.

Surprisingly, England could only manage second place on the list with the Three Lions dead rubber against Costa Rica, after they had already crashed out of the tournament.

Revealingly, both games kicked off at 5PM when many people would still have been at work and unable to watch the game via television.

EE also recorded the highest traffic on its network ever following Tim Cahill’s stunning volley against the Netherlands at 5.21pm on 18 June. The network believes this was due to a huge number of people checking replays and social media posts while still at work.

Germany’s demolition of hosts Brazil could only manage fourth on the list.
